One funeral was unfortunately followed by another and I have been out of reach of the internet, and for that matter, my mind, for some time. Back in Sydney now, back here very soon, but I have a few things to catch up on first.

Sorry to hear about all this dying Mike. Life is pretty shit sometimes, isn’t it? I enjoyed your post on teaching Capital – it was interesting to see you quote Harvey, because there’s a study group in ‘The Limits of Capital’ starting up in your old dept this coming week.

Cheers Scott. Will post the other half sometime very soon… Still recharging the batteries but will try to get started posting here again tonight.

As it happens, we’ve been doing a reading group on ‘Limits to Capital’ here too. We’re up to chapter 9 now. I think it’s a great book for a discussion group because Harvey makes clear all the tensions and debates. It was reading Harvey as an undergrad sociology student that first really got me into political economy.
